Full Job Description
Your Opportunity

As a Software Engineer, you’ll help build reliable, scalable technology solutions that support meaningful outcomes for Schwab clients, employees, and business partners. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, making thoughtful technical decisions, and using modern development practices to deliver high-quality software. You’ll collaborate with product, engineering, and cross-functional partners to design, build, test, and improve well-scoped features while contributing to team discussions that shape practical, maintainable solutions. Success in this role will require curiosity, adaptability, strong ownership, and the ability to use AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly to improve productivity, code quality, and delivery.

 

CCAT is a key tower in Schwab Broker-Dealer Service Engineering. We build the Schwab Customer Identifier (SCID) — the unified identity layer that resolves the same client across Schwab affiliates and powers a true 360° view of every customer across all lines of business. As an Engineer on CCAT, you'll build and ship features that touch every Schwab client.

We're specifically seeking engineers shaped by product-engineering environments — product companies or in-house engineering orgs — where you owned what you built, not just delivered against a ticket. The bar at CCAT is high ownership and accountability: you treat the product as yours, you stay with what you ship, and you're measured by the outcome — not by the handoff.
